Description

1891 Quarter, Vividly Toned PR67Early NGC Holder

1891 25C PR67 NGC. CAC. Briggs 1-A. Arguably among the most
eye-catching quarters in the Gardner Collection, this Superb Gem
proof boasts electric-blue centers that cede to jade-green, yellow,
and rose-violet. The effect is especially vivid on the reverse.
Reflective fields, razor-sharp motifs, and nearly blemish-free
surfaces are unsurprising given the lofty grade. Housed in an NGC
"no line fatty" holder with a green CAC approval sticker.

Variety: Briggs 1-A. The reverse die, left over from the
previous year, shows crumbling within all A's in the legend.
Several stars are lightly recut.

Population Data (9/15): NGC reports 14 submitted in PR67 and
four finer. PCGS enumerates four in PR67, surpassed by a single
PR68.

Heritage Commentary: Off the market for nearly 16 years and
still in its original NGC holder with an added "green bean"
sticker, this is a top-quality Superb Gem with the eye appeal to
match its outstanding technical grade. From a mintage of 600
proofs.
